Chapter 55 ★ Wusan integrates hobbies into work

One of the most amazing benefits of simplifying my life is that I have more time to enjoy my hobby of reading.Of course, there are many other benefits. At the very least, setting aside some time for yourself to relax can go a long way towards simplifying your life. A few years ago, my friend Sandra, a lawyer, went to see her sister who lived in Italy during the summer.Her sister suggested that she visit the engraving studio next door.Sandra didn't know anything about carving, and she wasn't very interested, but there was really nothing to do on the mountain, so she had to go and have a look.Although she doesn't know the art of sculpture, she has found a real interest that can change her life.

When she was in Italy, she used to go to that studio whenever she had free time and learn anything about sculpture.When she got home, she signed up for engraving classes.During normal times, she continues to devote herself to her legal practice, but, after hours or on weekends, she plunges into the world of sculpting.Gradually, she began to need all kinds of tools, and finally, she also set up a studio at home.Before long, she was selling her work at local art galleries.Recently, she quit her lawyer job to become a full-time sculptor.She often travels around the world, exhibiting her work in art galleries all over the world.

Sandra said she had never enjoyed such a wonderful and simple life.Before diving into her sculpting career, her life was full of phone calls, appointments, sworn testimony, litigation briefs, court appearances, and countless chores that required the legal profession to sort out.Now, every morning when she wakes up, puts on her jeans, and then goes to the studio to sculpt, that's all of her life.Her agent will help her with all the chores of her career.Of course, she has done what she wants to do, and her interests have led to a simple life for her. Another friend of mine, he combined his interests and work even more: flying helicopters and physical therapy.He created a new industry in remote recreational areas, where there are often some trips or various outdoor sports. During the holidays, some people will be injured, and he is responsible for taking these injured people outside for treatment by helicopter.He simplified his life so he could do what he wanted.Although, the new career is a bit troublesome, but he is happy because his world is completely different.

In any case, if you are not ready to do what you want to do, then you can start with your own interests, which is a feasible method.
